Subat (2012–2013)
7/10
the Turkish beauty and the beast
31 December 2012
I was looking forward to this Turkish remake of the class TV show beauty and the beast I did not know what to expect since the original is almost to copy but so far after watching 13 episodes I can say that it is am interesting remake of course the setting story and characters like the original is very fictional and has nothing to do with reality unlike the original the hero is not a beast but rather a disfigured homeless naive guy living in Istanbul tunnels he is fascinated by a rich TV presenter their meeting starts a chain of unpredictable events

the acting is top notch the guy playing subat is very convincing but maybe a little too good looking to play a creepy man but whats really outstanding about the show is the director I have never seen a TV show with such excellent cinematic direction at least not in Turkish shows

the show does have flows mostly with the writing its sometimes way over the top and sometimes cheesy but so was the original

overall worth checking out by fans of the original
